The unhealthy preoccupation with sex also. The fact that priests preach and leacture to the masses about sins of the flesh, and remaining pure. They make sex, a healthy neatural thing, out to be the ultimate taboo.. and YET these preists are molesting the young choirboys, well if that isn’t hypocracy I don’t know what is.
The people of the church are what gets me, some of the most religious people I know are the most horrible people I know, very judgemental, they feel superior (‘gods people’).
Christianity diverts attention from real problems by focusing attention on sexual issues, and when confronted with social evils such as poverty glibly dismisses them with platitudes such as, "The poor ye have always with you.". or ‘‘that’s the way it is, that’s the way the world goes’’
You’re right; people do not HAVE to become Christian. But the fear and threats are enough to make anyone go ‘just incase’; it’s a pretty damn big scare tactic, pain and fire for an eternity, pretty daunting.
As for the preoccupation with sex. Look at the 10 commandments, they contain a commandment forbidding the coveting of one’s neighbour’s wife, but do not even mention slavery, torture, or cruelty, which I think, speaks volumes about their writer’s preoccupation with sex. Look at the Catholic Church they have made sex out to be taboo, and that morality is quintessentially based on one’s purity.
Finally one last thing on the Christian church’s obsession with sex: homosexuality. I remember at the Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kansas. Its members picket the funerals of victims of AIDS and gay bashings, brandishing signs reading, "God Hates Fags," "AIDS Cures Fags," and "Thank God for AIDS." The pastor of this church reportedly once sent a "condolence" card to the bereaved mother of an AIDS victim, reading "Another Dead Fag."..
Now Christians do not picket the FUNERALS of murderers, rapists or even paedophiles (that ive heard of), and yet someone of a different sexuality, and thier family, deserves this? Honestly there are much worse things (even from a Christian point of view) than homosexuality
For the whole threatened thing. If 'become' a christian just because you are afraid that hell might be real then you aren't really a christian. The bottom line of Christianity is have faith in God, the Son, and Holy Spirit. And that Jesus came from God to die for our sins. He did so because he loves us and did not want us to spend eternity in hell. It is true that some so-called pastors will threaten people with hell but that is not the way to convert people. The way to convert people is by telling them about God and how He loved us so much that he gave up his only Son for us. But my point is that if you became a christian to avoid hell then you are not really a christian. Yes it is a bonus to becoming a christian but it shouldn't be the only reason for you conversion.
(2) you say that the ten commandments mention nothing about torture and slavery. And this is true however it says to "do unto others as you would have them do to you." So we as christians shouldn't treat others in way that we would not want to be treated. But still you have a good point. what i brought up is just what i think is a solution.
(3) I believe that that is wrong. christians shouldn't be doing that. In the bible Jesus tel...

(3) I believe that that is wrong. christians shouldn't be doing that. In the bible Jesus tell us to be imitators of God (who is Jesus as well). And Jesus, he ate with prostitutes, beggars, sinners of all kinds. Not to be buddy buddy with them but to try and save them, basically not condemn them. Therefore we as christians should do the same. However, sometimes a new born christian is not spiritually ready to confront and stay strong against such vile sins. So sometimes christians avoid these kinds of people, maybe because they are not ready for active spiritual work. Why homosexuality is such a grievance to God is because they are polluting and perverting his creation and gift to a man and a woman married life. To cities in the bible, Sodom and Gomorra were destroyed by God mainly because of homosexuality. also proving that God is a just God. But i agree that people should not be promoting rallys or whatever they are called against gay people.
A good honest person: someone who spends thier time doing decent things like volunteering somewhere, donating to charity, lives a "good" life. does what they need to do, pays their taxes and helps out in any way the can, i can tell you right now that not everyone that is like that is a christian, they can be anyone.
No one "NEEDS" to reward them simply because their kindness comes from their heart and not out of fear.
I was stating that IF god did exist those people should make it to heaven regaurdless on if they "pray" or "worship" him or not, simply because they are good people.
How did that 'good' get to their heart? To ask it more clearly, why do people feel obligated to do 'good' and not bad? Where did that come from?
I mean you have to be pretty egocentric to think that you are important enough to exist for eternity, most people aren’t important enough to justify their 70 years here..
All you have to do is look around on this site for 5 minutes and you’ll see that Christians have a choosen-people mentality. They feel superior.
Ok the others I can explain but I am sure you don’t want me to.. so, meh. But this is true.
answer my question :
- if Christian make people cowardice, why all missionaries that serve into the native and barbaric village are ready to die?
- if the Christian have a choosen-mentality or feel superior, then why they still pray? isn't that odd?
- so look yourself, who was feel superior? the Christian and the other religion believers who know that they are weak without God protection, or you and another atheism peoples who feel that you was strong to face the universe and don't need a God?
It's not just about heaven or hell, even world can become heaven or become hell.
Why Christian forbidding free sex? that because free sex makes our morality goes to wrong direction, we will same as animal, who just sex-based thinking, cannot control our ego, and desire. so, that's up to you, feel that was sexual-misery or not. but for us, that teach us to be patience.
‘‘If the Christian have a chosen-mentality or feel superior, then why they still pray? Isn’t that odd?’’
Does that technically make sense? Seriously, because you have me bewildered. Christians feel superior to other people’s religious beliefs. Too often have I seen Christians mock for example Buddhist or Hindu beliefs. And yet do not see the irony that their beliefs and practices of faith are just are outlandish if not more!
Secondly Christian’s chosen mentality has nothing to do with prayer. The often feel superior and brandish they are ‘god’s people’, this tying in with the feeling of superiority. My apologies that you haven’...

Sex is a basic human and animal instinct. It’s healthy and natural. Funnily priests enjoy telling their congregations no remain ‘pure’ and abstain from sin, yet have no problem at all molesting young choirboys. Sex isn’t unhealthy but the Christian churches attitude damn well is!!
oh and as far as animals go, they have sex for one thing, to reproduce. Its not mindless its something they were designed to do, just like people.
I think…
As with all Christian based posts, the audience is bound have the entourage of followers of faith who are uneducated in life’s experiences and rely on hiding behind the skirts of the bible.
They will of course support each others cause to the hilt, and in doing so attempt to make normal people and their comments appear unfounded.
These individuals and groups of devotees will all use the reductionism methods available and use the same old passages from a book to convince themselves and attempt to convince the opposition.
But what they don’t understand or know is that the opposition don’t really care what they say, the opposition are purely having a laugh at the expense of those that prattle on about a story of a supernatural figure from past history that has no effect on the present era.
This faith based entertainment that these individuals pose has it’s merits in the lower end of intellect, it serves to keep the coffers full, and it gives them a shared interest that keeps them corralled and within the realms of eugenics study.
Eventually these groups will become inbred and the controlling government will have no other choice but to exterminate them, the final solution will rear it’s ugly head once again, but for this reason the world will agree ...

These individuals and groups promote this self serving prophecy that the meek shall inherit the Earth, religion serves no purpose, it does not make a better world, it does not produce an ideal lifestyle, is does not command wellbeing, this form of following will only serve one purpose.
To fuel the fire of the final solution and New World Order…
NWO NWO NOW The Whole world knows this is coming, it will come, there is no stopping it!
